Hi Neil, NetworkManager should be running in the notification area. I'm assuming you click and selected your network? If you right-click the notification icon, and click properties/info, does it show DHCP with your IP, gateway IP, DNS server etc? You may want to check the network settings (System->Administration->Network), to make sure that it's set to auto (=managed by NetworkManager). I don't recall having to set up anything special with NetworkManager and keyring-manager, it Just Worked for me after I typed in a master password. There was a bit of funkiness I had to do to make it auto-unlock on login. "When you say keeps asking for the WPA key", do you mean over reboots/logins, or just randomly throughout your session? For the manual approach... check ifconfig wlan0, see if it's got an IP. Also check route -n to see if a default gateway is set up. Can you ping your router?
